Why Touring Is Becoming a Losing Business for International Artists

The Grammy-nominated artist was due to start his tour in November, but in an Instagram post, Mnek said he was following in the footsteps of other artists who have recently cancelled tours due to “high production costs” and “over-ambitious planning.”

Earlier this year, the Pussycat Dolls cancelled almost the entire US leg of their tour, citing poor ticket sales. Featured Artists Coalition chairman and Blur drummer David Rowntree also told the BBC that it was “almost impossible to get the tour together.”
